Abstract: Through the dispersion of graphite nanoplatelets in a silicone matrix and mechanical mixing, graphite nanoplatelet/silicone composites were prepared. These composites were subsequently analyzed by the transient plane source (TPS) technique in order to determine thermal conductivity. DSC and XRD were used to further characterize the composites.
